THE sudden termination of Court
through the resignation of Judge Faux
ner, left large number of cases await
ing action. 1t was long and labor
GUS term, but there was left at least
work enough to occupy the Court ten
days. Several very important cases
were also in the judges hands for de-
cision, that must now go into the hands
of the new judge, We suppose a spec
ial term will be held after the Jefferson
Court.

The election Of Judge Charles James
Faulkner, of West Virginia, to the
United States Senate is exceedingly
gratifying to his many friends in the
Valley of Virginia. Senator-elect
Faulkner is we'll known to the Win
chester bar both as a man and as 4
Judge. Honorable and beloved in pri-
vate life, his legal ability made him
illustrious upon the bench. Elected at
so early an age to the most conspicu-
Gus body in America he has brilliant
opportunities before him which he will
not fail to take advantageof. He bids
fair to be more distinguished than his
distinguished father.

May shall make the bud appear
Like a jewel, crystal clear,
Mid the leaves upon the limb
Where the robin lifts his hymn.
May shall make the wild-tlowers tell

Were transmitted TO flower
